My steering is suddenly exhibiting unpleasant symptoms in as much as it gets heavy when starting to turn (e.g. when cornering after driving straight or trying to straighten up after cornering). Once the steering wheel starts to move it's reasonably light, probably best described as notchy about the neutral position. This is leading me to both over and understeer, too dangerous to drive now :-(
I know the system has a leak, my driveway has been collecting puddles of fluid for the last year or so, but it hasn't really been a problem so long as I've kept topping the HICAS reservoir up.
I suspect the pump has finally gone but if anyone recognises the symptoms I've described as being more likely a different problem I'd be interested to hear.
Oh, I should add that it's a Jap TT with speedo conversion and speedo is working properly.
